Keep one spreadsheet honest with a Grok Bot for data automation

Templates in this category run a Grok Bot for data automation against one named source on a fixed schedule and write the result into one named sheet.

The scraping routine names the source, the fields and the destination. It runs at a set hour, writes one row per record, and stamps the run date on every row so you tell a stale pull from a fresh one at a glance. Pointing a routine at 'the web' returns nothing you can use, which is why every template here asks for a URL.

One Bot runs one computer-use task on its screen at a time. A scrape that takes 20 minutes blocks the other routines on that Bot for 20 minutes, so heavy jobs get their own Bot. An account holds up to 50 Bots and group chats combined, which leaves room for a dedicated scraper Bot per source.

The app keeps the 20 most recent run records per routine. Read those records after the first week, find the runs where the output shape changed, and fix the skill wording rather than the routine. A routine writing different column names on different days has a wording problem, not a scheduling problem.
